I am taking INCEIF's Masters in Islamic Finance Practice course, and it is one of the best decisions I could have made. I feel it's

not just an investment in career development, but also an investment in myself and my future. I am working as a loan officer in a

bank, so I chose to devote my free time to online studies. Now I'm looking forward to

holding a respected leadership position in an altogether different company.
